We are scheduled to stay at Animal Kingdom Villas- Kidani in October, but may have to move our dates due to work.

No real desire to try Caribbean Beach (lack of elevators is a turn off) or any other Values. Other than theming, the rooms are basically the same and are too small.

Also, we aren't rushing to go back to Old Key West. Again, lack of elevators is a deterrant (except for a couple of buildings) and we were not fans of the room decor or the somewhat overgrown landscaping. Of course, we travel with someone in a wheelchair and Mom having to push back branches like she is in a jungle would not really be fun! We very much prefer Saratoga Springs.

Wow, hey look everyone, Ian stayed in the Cinderella Castle Suite. Who knew?

[LauraF]

Wow, I had to think and remember all of them.
Darn, now I want another trip.

Ranked in order of least to most stays:
Old Key West (1)
Coronado Springs (1)
Grand Floridan (1)
Boardwalk (1)
Port Orleans French Quarter (2)
Animal Kingdom - Jambo or Kidani (every other time)

I don't play around. Once I find one I like, I stay there! :-)

I like how he just casually stuck it at the bottom of his list.

We have stayed at Port Orleans Riverside, OKW in a 1 bedroom villa, and CBR. OKW has by far been my favorite. CBR was my least favorte.

I would love to stay at Grand Floridian, AKL, and Wilderness Lodge the most, but really any resort is fine as long as we area at Disney. $$ is usually an issue.

We also own a timeshare with Westgate, so our next trip will probably be off site due to the big savings that we get when staying there.

[WDWgoofy]

Once upon a time, I believed I would want to stay at all the Disney resorts. Now after having stayed at a broad range of resorts my 'bucket list' is changed.

Perhaps someday I will stay at a monorail resort but these do not have the appeal that they once had.

Personally, I expect to continue to visit my current favorites:

• Pop Century
• Caribbean Beach
• Animal Kingdom Lodge
• Wilderness Lodge

I've stayed at all WDW resorts now except

Grand Floridian
Treehouse Villas
Ft. Wilderness Campground

I will rectify the first two this year, but I don't think I will ever see the campgrounds. I am SO not an outdoorsy kind of girl! We go to the campfire movie every once in a while,and that suits me just fine.
I guess I could do a cabin, but its still so woodsy! The idea of Tree houses are bugging me enough, but that is DD's wish for her bday party so I just have to get through it.

Maybe I watched too many of those Friday the 13th movies as a kid?!

For a girl who went to summer camp every year, I'm not very outdoorsy either, but I thought the cabins were fine. They have a lot of room which is nice. However I am definitely a resort girl.

I may have posted in this thread before but we now have these left:

• The All Stars
• Saratoga Springs and the Treehouses
• Grand Floridian

I can't see us ever getting to the All Stars unless it was a quick one night stay. For some reason I never chose SSR. I might have to try it some time. We are doing the Grand Floridian in Sept.

I also haven't done the Villas at WL or Boardwalk but I have stayed in regular rooms at both properties.

[TikiLounger]

We have our favorites, but there are a few more we'd like to stay in. Our goal used to be to stay at least once in every resort. Now that our kids are grown (and we haven't reached that goal), my DH and I have decided that we don't want to stay in a value resort...only because we don't have young children, not because they're value resorts. Also, we've never had any interest in the Grand Floridian. I have no explanation as to why...we just don't. Anyway, the resorts we'd still like to spend time in are...

The Contemporary
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Coronado Springs

The Treehouse Villas
The Villas at the Wilderness Lodge
Bay Lake Towers

[TikiLounger]

Oh...I forgot to add Port Orleans (both Riverside and French Quarter)

[Imalismom]

I have stayed at:

Deluxe: Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary, Bay Lake Towers, Grand Florida, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Shades of Green, Yacht Club, and Beach Club

Moderate: Port Orleans - French Quarter

Value: All Star Movies, All Star Sports

Of all of those, I would go back to each one, but prefer not to stay at any All Stars due to noise level.

I would like to stay at:

Art of Animation - but at the cost, I can stay at a Deluxe so may never get here.

Treehouse Villa - top of my bucket list.

[tjstrike]

We stayed at :

Ft. Wilderness (1)
POR - (1)
BCV - (1)
BWV - (1)
BLT - (1)
SSR - (5)

Would like to stay : Finish out the DVC hotels
(VWL, AKL, VGF, OKW) and then start over again.
